(103,057 posts)was almost $8 with tax (including the extra $ for lettuce, tomato, and mayo) a DUer DEMANDED that I produce a receipt--clearly insinuating I was making it up). I was very offended and certainly was not going to waste time trying to prove ANYTHING to that individual, but instead merely suggested that there were likely some regional differences-- as dalton99a's OP article clearly shows. I was quite taken aback at the rudeness, but am glad this article is vindicating me, even if it does not appear that Wendy's was specifically included.
I don't eat fast food myself (or rarely) but I do occasionally bring things in for others so this truly caught me off guard. I did mention that had I known a nearby KFC was still selling their chicken sandwiches for $5 and change, I'd have gone there instead.
At any rate, thanks for posting this.
